NATIONAL EYE INSTITUTE, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH, BETHESDA, MD AND SURROUNDING AREA
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available to study proteins that affect the function of the retina. The current goal of our section is the elucidation of the mechanisms by which PEDF, a multifunctional factor with neurotrophic, antiangiogenic, antitumorigenic, antimetastatic, antiinflammatory and stem cell self renewal properties, affect retina physiology and disease. Major interests include: cell-surface receptors, protein interactions, signal transduction, structure-function, lipids, extracellular matrix, sustained delivery systems. Additional information and references may be found on the NIH and NEI Web sites, www.nei.nih.gov/intramural/protein_struct_func.asp, irp.nih.gov/pi/s-patricia-becerra.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree with less than five years of postdoctoral experience, preferably in biochemistry.
To apply:
Please send a curriculum vitae, bibliography, cover letter with a brief description of candidate's interest in the position, research experience and long term career goals, and the names of 3 references (with phone numbers) via e-mail to becerrap@nei.nih.gov, or via post to:
